inspired by "Dumbo"

„Liebes Kind“ Liebes Kind, weine nicht wenn das Herz mir auch bricht schmieg Dich an, ich bin für dich da ich bin Dir nah, mein liebes Kind Deine Mutter bewacht Dich bei Tag und bei Nacht droht Gefahr, eile geschwind nur zu mir her, mein liebes Kind Du bist süß und noch klein ich will lieb zu Dir sein sei vergnügt, niedlicher Spatz du bist mein Schatz, mein liebes Kind

"Baby Mine" Baby mine, don't you cry. Baby mine, dry your eyes. Rest your head close to my heart, Never to part, baby of mine. Little one, when you play, Pay no heed what they say. Let your eyes sparkle and shine, Never a tear, baby of mine. From your head down to your toes, You're not much, goodness knows. But, you're so precious to me, Sweet as can be, baby of mine.

Kindlein klein, schlaf süß ein,
du sollst nie traurig sein
denn nun hüllt Dich Liebe ein

ich bin bei Dir, schlaf Kindlein klein

Jeden Tag froh erwach
sorg Dich nicht, Liebling lach
lass Dein Herz fröhlich stets sein

ich denk an Dich, mein Kindlein klein

Mich erfreut jeder Blick

denn Du bist all mein Glück
könnt nie mehr ohne Dich sein
lieb Dich allein, Kindlein klein

Supportive Dad

materials: coloured pencil and pastel chalk on paper, A4
time: 2 hours


Supportive Dad teaches the skills his kid will need for life and waits patiently for his child to succeed on his own. And without pampering or spoiling the child, he is always there to offer unconditional love and encouragement. And should his kid fall on his back, supportive dad will always catch him. 

This one I did for my husband, for he is an amazing father.

Artist Trading Card: Sofie Rimmer

Sofie proposed to trade little artworks called Artist Trading Cards. I liked the idea and so we exchanged. Sofie seems to really like bears, so I did the obvious...

This is the card Sofie sent me

Young Elsa

material: pencil and white gel pen on paper, A4
time: sketch: 10 minutes, coloring about 10 hours

This is Elsa as a young teenager looking in a mirror and trying to get to know herself. She has to stay hidden in her room and control her emotions at all times. I wanted to portrait her innocence as well as the insecurity.
I wanted to keep the focus on the face, which is why I kept the background and dress that simple. 

background: 
My son is a big fan of Elsa, he begged me to draw her for him. So I quickly sketched her in my book. Somehow I liked the sketch even though the proportions are not perfect, so I decided to color it. If I knew back then how much effort I would put into the colors, I would have been more careful with the lineart, especially the lips and eyes.
